Then, after a beautifully rendered cut-scene replete with unintentionally comical non lip-synched dialogue, it's straight out into the battlefield. Things kick off fairly promisingly (despite the lazy consoley front-end), as you select from one of nine warriors and equip them with an array of weaponry. Sure, the epic battles - in which you hack through hordes of enemies with an upgradeable warrior - are visually impressive, but despite the game's merits, it's impossible to escape its dumbed-down nature.
